Hm. Nanites do 30 DPS, over ten seconds it gives 300 damage. The remaining 2000-something must have been your other damage sources, most likely Assailants with a little help of the -5 armor debuff.

It is true though that highly upgraded phase missiles are the Advent's nemesis, bypassing their most stalwart line of defense - robust shields.

Darvin, I play Vasari 99% of the time. I know that very well.

What I meant is that he praises the EGG's nanos, indicating that the enemy progenitor died in 10 seconds. My point is that there was still 2000 hull points that somehow disappeared - it wasn't all nanos

I am fully aware of nanos OP-ness, that's why I try to never use them

Where do you get those numbers?  It used to be 30 DPS over twenty seconds, so 600 damage.  Now its 25 DPS over 25 seconds, so 625 damage for level 1. 

875 for level 2 now.  (And 1125 for level 3).  He said he was using two Eggs, one at least lvl 2.   So it is possible they were killing the Progen alone, (but not in 10 seconds - an obvious exaggeration).  And yeah, he still probably needed some additional damage from fleet.

B-Tec, the main difference about Nano-Dissasembler is that it completely by-passes shields, (or applies damage directly to hull), thus damage isn't reduced by mitigation.  So it is possible to kill something that still has shields remaining.  Typical damage would have to first remove shields, and 50% mitigation means only half the damage is getting thru.  So it is not uncommon for Nano-Dissambler damage to be equivalent to double (or even quadruple) typical damage.

Edit:  Aw, now I get it... DPS for only 10 seconds, not the full duration.

Phase missiles do not bypass armour.  Nanos is unique in that respect.  When it says "25 damage per second" it means that the target loses 25 hull points every second.

i was referring to the overall ability of the vasari to almost entirely bypass shields and eliminate armor...

i had about 35 assailants with fully upgraded phase missles, 2 eggs, one lvl 2 nanites one lvl 1 nanites. idk the numbers, but thats at least 4 armor taken away. nanites eatin on the hull, and with a big portion of the phase missles not havin to worry bout shields it took maybe (yeah i exagerated earlier ) but it was seriously somethin around 15-30 seconds. it was mind blowing.

If the Kodiak has enough hull point upgrades, or there's a hoshiko in the fleet (a mid-late game TEC player without hoshikos is a JOKE) it won't work.  Moreover, if there are ten or more Kodiaks, you have a serious risk that your egg could be dead before it even nanos its third target.  Unless you have substantial overseer backup, DO NOT risk your high level egg in big fleet battles.  It just dies way too easily.

Thats the reason why late game my egg fleet consists of LRMS siege and the egg and a maurader and maybe a vulk.

The fleet is used to mainly jus mop up badly protected worlds or to jus take a planet after my main fleet has moved on to the next battle.(the antorak helps to allow even the egg to run if an enemy fleet jumps in)

Of course thats my SP tactic. it doesnt quite work out that way in MP
